HAMPTON, Va. – Some Phish fans are leaving Hampton a little lighter than when they arrived for the band's weekend reunion.

Police said Monday they confiscated about $1.2 million in illegal drugs and more than $68,000 in cash from concertgoers. Authorities also arrested 194 Phish fans during the three-night celebration of the band's return to the stage after a nearly five-year absence.

Most of the arrests were for drug possession, use and distribution, police said.

Tourism officials had estimated 75,000 fans would be coming to the coastal Virginia city. Nearly 200 law enforcement officers worked the weekend event, with the Vermont-based band picking up the tab.

phish has never played gin and juice. The Gourds is the band that did the version of the song that you're talking about. That song is one of the most commonly mislabeled songs from the Napster days.

I was at Woodstock (the second of the three) and people were just smoking joints in broad daylight even though there were cops around. There was just too many people for them to arrest people for weed so they ignored it.
I also saw these two dudes put up a crappy little table and then made a sign that said, "Free Breast Painting" and chicks were coming up and taking their tops off and letting these dudes paint little colored circles all over their breasts. Those dudes were genuises.
